Reminds me of that Christmas story that Shel used to post every year. What was it called, Augie Wren's Christmas or something like that? He did exactly that, pointed a (stolen) camera down the same street from the same spot every day and took a photo. Just checked and here it is: http://www.christmasmagazine.com/en/spirit/story10.asp Anyway, that would be a cool thing to do... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
